Our Weekend....

 

 

Scotty's mom was in town this weekend. We drove to San Luis Obispo and spent the night, the next morning we drove to Santa Barbara to see the start of leg 6 of the Tour of California. Scotty had a great time taking pictures of the riders, especially his favorite teams and their "dream" bikes. Jared enjoyed renaming every dog he saw. We then drove to Hollywood and did the Walk of Fame and saw where they had set up for the Academy Awards. I sure hate large cities. Crowded, dirty... I could have lived without that part of our day. We drove to Santa Clarita that early afternoon to catch the finish of the race. Caitlin somehow managed to squeeze herself up to the front for an excellent view. Scotty went in closer to the finish line... it was fun to see. The kids then enjoyed the bounce slide and obstacle course. They also got samples of Jelly Belly Beans from their team booth, and Caitlin knocked down the milk jugs winning a bag of yummy granola. We were to meet Jon for dinner but, the traffic turned out to be too heavy for him to get there in time. Then we all drove home, enjoying a long ride in the rain- talking about politics, what else??

Good day for us.

Scotty is doing well, tolerating a bit of pain still- but, it isn't slowing him down. Caitlin is only minutes away from finishing her science project. Jared is happy to be returning to school after the last 11 days off. I am feeling better from my Friday diagnosis of upper respitory infection, sinus infection, ear infection and flu. I have been fever free since Thursday. I still have the ear infection but, will most likely start the third antibiotic tomorrow just to finish clearing it up. I have never had an ear infection before so this has been a new experience for me. I didn't realize it even makes your teeth and jaw hurt. No wonder babies scream when they get one.
